Amit Shah Takes Swipe at Congress for Plundering the Country for Many Years

Amit Shah, while addressing a gathering, criticized the INDIA alliance. He emphasized the significance of the recently constructed Ram Mandir in Ayodhya, asserting that the Congress’s opposition to the Pran Prathishtha ceremony was unfounded. He warned that the Congress, if in power, would place a figurative “Babri lock” on the temple, insinuating their dynastic political motives. Shah condemned dynastic politics within the opposition parties, citing examples of leaders like Lalu Yadav, Mamata Banerjee, and Sonia Gandhi promoting their relatives for prominent positions.

He stressed that the people, not any political family, should determine the allocation of electoral seats, rejecting the concept of reserved seats for political dynasties. He also targeted the Congress for their inaction on Article 370 and praised Prime Minister Modi for its abrogation, asserting that it curtailed terrorism and asserting India’s claim over Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. Shah accused the Congress of perpetuating corruption and proclaimed the government’s commitment to prosecuting corrupt individuals. Shah praised the governance of Uttar Pradesh under the “double engine government” of Modi and Yogi Adityanath.

He outlined the developmental projects undertaken in the state, including the construction of expressways, a metro network, medical colleges, and various entertainment and industrial initiatives. He attributed the elimination of criminal elements in Uttar Pradesh to the efforts of the current administration. The focus then shifted to the political significance of Amethi and Raebareli, historically considered strongholds of the Gandhi family. Attention is drawn to Rahul Gandhi’s candidacy in Rae Bareli and the selection of Kishori Lal Sharma as a candidate in Amethi, highlighting the electoral significance of these constituencies for the Congress.
